Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would recommend performing further investigations to exclude other possible causes of these episodes besides anxiety:
- sleep apnea
- cardiac arrhythmia
- gastro-esophageal reflux.
For this reason I would recommend performing some tests:
- a polysomnography to exclude possible sleep apnea.
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rhythm trends through the night and day
- respiratory function tests to exclude possible lung disease
- a cardiac ultrasound to examine your cardiac function and structure.
Only if these tests result normal, you can consider starting Xanax.
I would not recommend taking it before performing these tests.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
